CWMU description

The Coldwater Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is part of the Bear River Range south of Blacksmith Fork. The South Cottonwood Canyon divides the Unit almost into a west and east half. This canyon ranges from about 6400 feet to 7200 feet in elevation. To the east the elevation doesn't rise much and the area flattens out before dropping down to 5600 feet on the northeast boundary. On the west half the elevation rises rapidly to around 8000 feet, then drops quickly to 6400 feet in the north and 7400 feet in the south. The most common elevation is 7100 feet but ranges from 5100 feet to 8200 feet with an elevation difference of 3100 feet.
